"A 15-year-old New Mexico teen was kicked out of
school then publicly humiliated all because she
was pregnant, according to the American Civil
Liberties Union.
Court papers filed in US District Court by the
ACLU on behalf of Shantelle Hicks, who is in the
eighth grade at Wingate Elementary School in
McKinley, N.M., said when school officials found
out she was pregnant, they first booted her out of
school.
Because the school, which brags on its website
that it provides "SUCCESS FOR ALL of our students"
receives public funding, discriminating against a
pregnant student is illegal.
Four days later, after the ACLU of New Mexico sent
the school a letter, she was allowed back in — but
not exactly welcomed with open arms, according to
the suit." - NYDailyNews
